These drivers suited to MJK style 'Fast' - esque 2way?

mondogenerator · 6th August 2011, 11:07 AM

Since seeing the MJK H-baffle projects on here, I have eventually found A 15"er will a reasonably high Qts:

Fane International Ltd Loud Speakers

Can anyone hazard a guess/speak from experience and give me some idea whether these drivers would be suitable or not.

Cheers folks.

Put it in a 16" x 16" H-frame, LP at 120 Hz Linkwitz-Riley 12 db/oct and it will behave like this:

meeting the fullranger at 300 Hz or just a little above.

Thanks

I didnt quite expect a graph from mathcad sim too but, Thank you.

It looks quite reasonable .... hmmmm

Well, it's very much probable that this would be the best bass cabinet you ever built.

I used to run a pair of Selenium 15PW3-SLF on OB, which is a similar driver. Worked well, as long as you cross low to fight the rising response that OB gives you. The slightly higher Q of the Fane and an H frame will help that.

Erling has given you a good lead with his 120Hz LP choice.

Hey Skorpion, so long as you're feeling generous, any chance you could sim the eminence beta 15 in a U-frame?

I agree with that for sure Pano......i can think of a multitude of fullrangers to go with that at around 83-87dB, AND possibly allow a bit of baffle step correction around the x-over point.

The only problem that remains is my small L shaped listening room.....lol

+1... Please!

Yep, just remember that the low electrical crossover point will result in a higher acoustical point. See graph above.

Curious, which fullrange are you going to use for the high frequences ?
